स यो वृषा॑ न॒रां न रोद॑स्योः॒ श्रवो॑भि॒रस्ति॑ जी॒वपी॑तसर्गः । प्र यः स॑स्रा॒णः शि॑श्री॒त योनौ॑
sa yo vṛṣā narāṃ na rodasyoḥ śravobhirasti jīvapītasargaḥ pra yaḥ sasrāṇaḥ śiśrīta yonau
He who is like a bull among men does not cry out; he is the source of fame and life-giver, the fruitful procreator, the nourisher of the womb.
He, who is, as it were, the genitive rator of men as well as of heaven and earth, of whom creation has imbibed life, abides with his glories; he it is who, entering into the womb (of being), procreates (all living creatures).
As Steer of men so Steer of earth and heaven by glory, he whose streams all life hath drunken, Who hasting forward rests upon the altar.
